The Space-Time Towers were vital for the safety of Alamos Town during the events of the {{pkmn|movie}}. When played, the song [[Oración]], which is able to calm the fiercest rage, soothed {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} and saved the town from destruction. The towers later appeared in flashbacks in both ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. They also briefly appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a timeline different from the main series. | The Space-Time Towers were vital for the safety of Alamos Town during the events of the {{pkmn|movie}}.

==History== | |||
The origin of the Space-Time Towers was discovered through entries on [[Godey]]'s diaries, which are kept by his great-grandson [[Tonio]]. Godey once had a nightmare caused by {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} in which a fight between {{mov|Palkia}} and {{mov|Dialga}} broke out in [[Alamos Town]]. The clash of the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] was of such magnitude that it destroyed the entire town. | |||
When the towers were under construction, Godey witnessed [[Alicia]] playing [[Oración]] in the town's garden. Seeing how the song was able to comfort and relieve others, he thought of developing a musical instrument that would play the song in case the events in his nightmare became a reality. Godey's main purpose was to leave Oración for future generations, as he expected the song to bring peace to the furious Pokémon that Darkrai was informing him about. | |||

Outside in between the two towers is a long and thin winding staircase, leading up to the top of the tower. On the topmost floor lies a large machine that plays music by inserting special disks into a place-holder and pulling a lever. This is a similar function as a piano, but the strings are aligned in a cylinder. | Outside in between the two towers is a long and thin winding staircase, leading up to the top of the tower.
